Lancaster CA Councilwoman English

[StrengthAddicts]

She can't even pronouncer her "own" last name. Racist no doubt :)

[rameyes]

You have to have a diff language other than english,to get a diploma and its hard work hope i didnt scare you.plus english is a borrowed language,not from here.so there is some negativity twards people who can speak more than one language,I dont need that english only law near me because it speaks lazy to me.

[sandrifter]

Go Sherry!! We are behind you 110%. When you run for Mayor you will replace King Rex. And thank you for your activity in the Tea Party...it is noted. Next on the agenda is to do away with the "Traffic Cams" in Lancaster. We also need a CCW Law passed as well. Thank you for a job well done. We back you all the way.

[spacetracker93]

Frank Jorge is a hypocrite Cuban immigarant, that after fleeing away from Cuba he started rejecting newcoming immigratns. He behaves like a vicious rabid dog ready to jump at people. showing his vulgarity and lack of education.

[robbrichter2010]

@spacetracker93 Hey Spacertrack93 , It's spelled "immigrant." You misspelled the word twice. You talk about lack of education about others , but when you spell like a dunce dork , that shows you have no primary educational background of yourself either. Start concentrating on your own education & lack there of , before you start dogging one someone else's...

[Jesse93z]

Im white. I grew up in Lancaster. It is my home. But these people make me hate the city....and white people for that matter. lol

[wildcaliguyy55]

dumb bitch ....then go run in a all white town .......dumb white lady ....so stupid

[reno93535]

Come here, learn english. Quit your bitchin.

[binkytheclown2]

this lady is just another fanatic christian moron trying to win brownie points with other hardliners up in the ranks. she think this may give her a chance to walk up the hill, but it won't. she isn't big enough to rebound from her racist remarks. a pelosi could rebound she will crash and burn into oblivion.

[reno93535]

@binkytheclown2 Has nothing to do with racism, brightwit. Learn english. If you move to Mexico, learn spanish.

[nakedBison69]

binkytheclown2 is just another fanatic socialist moron trying to win brownie poitns with other obamaniac hardliners up in the ranks. binkyTheClown falls down the hill, too small to rebound from his socialist remarks, crashing and burning into oblivion

[naachgaana]

This is typical of her intolerant views on non-white, non-Christian Americans. I'm sad but not surprised.

[reno93535]

Whites and non-Christians speak spanish, genius. You shouldn't be surprized by that either. Now press 1 for english.

[nakedBison69]

this is typical of naachgaana's intolerant views against America

[naachgaana]

@nakedBison69 Yeah I'm real intolerant. That's why I served in Operation Enduring Freedom, protecting you while you sat at home safe and sound.

Just because I speak another language besides English doesn't mean I'm intolerant, and it also doesn't mean that I'm not an American.

[nakedBison69]

if you are truly patriotic, you would advocate English to be our official national language, just as French is the official language of France and Italian is the official language of Italian. This is the United States, not Mexico

[naachgaana]

@nakedBison69 lol. Now you are authorized to measure how patriotic someone else is?

I'm fine with making English AN official language of the United States with Spanish a secondary official language and with States having the ability to make their own secondary, tertiary, etc official languages.

We are the melting pot. Get over it. Without Hispanics in America there'd be no carne asada or refried beans or cheese dip. Wouldn't life be boring without that?

[nakedBison69]

naachgaana has no authority to measure how patriotic someone else is. naachgaana wants our increasingly totalitarian government to force all of us to speak Spanish, even when mumbling in our dreams, or face lifetime imprisonment. naachgaana cannot get over the fact that we are an English speaking country. nobody but naachgaana ever even heard of carna asada. nobody but naachgaana likes cheese dip. life is boring with naachgaana in it

[naachgaana]

@nakedBison69 You want our increasingly totalitarian government to force all of us to speak only English. I fail to see the difference.

And if you don't like carne asada or cheesedip, your life must be 100% boring.

[nakedBison69]

naachgaana wants the entire United States and Canada to become part of totalitarian Mexico. naachgaana's life is 101% boring

[califsk8ter91]

@naachgaana actually if we didn't have beans or cheese dip, life would be ALOT less gassier

[coltzin12]

Mrs. marquez you shoul begin by changing your last name. If you haven't noticed the Nazi hicks that used to thrive in Palmdale have been pushed to Arizona, the few left in Lancaster will be pushed out also, Please follow them. Lancaster will no longer be a stronghold for white supremacists. They should be sent to the Acton rehab first and then kicked out of the AV.

[KKKn50cal]

Please go back to your homieland where you belong. TFB, but the USA is an English speaking country.

No hablawetbackkkkkkkk

[NoGuff]

In order to vote, immigrant citizens MUST demonstrate proficiency in English.

So why, then, do ballots have to be printed in multiple languages?

I'll never understand that.

[Reaper2thaaztecs]

What are you honkite eurotrash gonna do when Mexcians are the majority in 10 years... are we going to have a language to serve the minority crackers ???? I believe that call that Apartheid .. you honkites are funny... you're trying to ruin America !!! I can assure you though... all of your heinious racist crimes will be paid for by you and your children.

[Reaper2thaaztecs]

America ? ... that is an Itallian word pronounced in spanish... silly cave dwelling honkite eurotrash !! sophisticated redneck goobers...

[TsumeCrazy]

Sherry Marquez for president, 2012!

[DISCJOCKEYPONY]

ja ja ja

[kamforty]

I agree!

[srgrowler]

Good luck girl, here we English are treated like shit by the estanlishment parties .We whites want our country back and our language English, not arabic ,urdu or gujerati. Vote British National Party.

[ruppertknickerbocker]

Yea but what would happen to the Spanish Hillbillies their to dumb to learn English.

[jefeisdguard]

This is ridiculous!

Why isn't ENGLISH our official language?

It should BE!

It is the official language in about 30 countries! WHY ISN'T IT IN AMERICA?

This is so unpatriotic! How many of our forefathers died protecting our rights!

Do you think any one of them DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH?

[Reaper2thaaztecs]

Why do you want to have a European language as an official Amerikkkkun language ?? Spanish has been spoken here for over 300 years before any honkite set foot on it .. and 40,000 years Nahuatl has been spoken .. Nahuatl should be an official language if any...

[jefeisdguard]

"Spanish has been spoken here for over 300 years before any honkite set foot on it .. and 40,000 years Nahuatl has been spoken .. Nahuatl should be an official language if any"

Your arguments are weak & w/o merit. If this were true they'd be doing that in Wall Street.

Get w/the program & do ur peddling somewheres else.

Your offending the intelligence of everyone reading this.

[Licmycat]

ENGLISH ONLY! Yah!

[cwp91206]

English only. Duh-uuh-ooh.

[crsnena]

If she can do it more power to her.

[clinteastwoodcowb0y]

My maternal great grandparents came to America from Greece and learned English. In fact they told my grandfather that they were in America and they weren't going to speak Greek. My grandfather didn't grow up knowing Greek but only English. There are Mexicans that live in this country for many years that don't learn English. Greek is a much different language to switch over from so what's the Mexicans' excuses?

[NoRefriedBeans]

Tough lady. You go girl kick some ass.

[jahan77]

Its important to recognize that it is up to immigrants to assimilate, and adapt themselves to America - not vice versa.

[Willstruth]

I think about this woman having to stand up and fight for our right to have only english as the official language anywhere here in America and then I drive through the town that I live in and I see all the biilboards and store fronts that have nothing but spanish writen on them and I wonder to myself,"My God,what happened to my country and where did America go!"I think we all better start speaking up before we wake up one morning and find our country gone!

[gunnyranger2]

This is a ridiculous issue.Our language is english.Just because a few million illegals break our laws and sneak into our nation,does this mean we have to bow down to them?I think not. Press 1 for kiss my ass!

[DD826]

Arizona has been suffering from the illegal aliens for the last 40 years. The rest of the country had no concern for "Arizona's illegal alien problem".

Now the whole country is starting to feel, what Arizona has been going through.

[DD826]

Loud and proud! If they want to call us racists, then let it be.

America is at stake, screw em!

[EyeLuvUSA]

THIS is EXACTLY what we need to be doing!!! STAND UP TO THESE PEOPLE! SPEAK UP FOR OUR LANGUAGE, FLAG, RIGHTS AND PEOPLE!!!!

[thedon5674]

America!..Wake up!..Illegal immigrants are taking over this country in every way, shape and form. We need more people like this women to tell it like it is...This is America, we speak English here!..If you dont like it...go home!

[thedon5674]

Thank God there are people like her!...Keep up the outstanding work!

[SoFlaPatriot]

Multiple languages on the ballot is what started my awareness to the illegal aliens years ago. English is the official language of Florida. Like all other laws it is totally un-enforced. It isnt even encouraged. You cant be an informed voter if you dont speak english and operate primarily in English, get your news in ENGLISH . It is all a joke at this point. A complete and utter fucking joke. The Clinton Bush era destroyed this country. Welcome to post America folks...its over.

[obamasucksballs]

Good for her!!! My Lord, it is INSANE that English isn't ALREADY the official language from the very inception of our nation.Growing up in Western Pennsylvania (with ZERO illegal aliens in sight thankfully), I always naturally ASSUMED English was the official language of the United States.

Having lived in Chicago then San Diego for several years, both havens for illegals, I steadfastly refuse to learn the invaders' language. I am supposed to accomodate them??? That will be the day!!!

[PhillyEmeraldguard]

Get them out now no country has ever survived a identity change like this it's like being invaded by barbarians, once they get enough people to have a voting majority they will never stop coming

[doughborne]

Right on Sherry Marquez, Keep up the Fire ! Pro Patria doughboy

[onecelticwarrior]

Here's a question for everyone -

Suppose I,as an American citizen leave my country and go to ANY other country without any valid paperwork,no VISA and not just for a tourist visit.

What would happen if I sat my ass down on a street corner and held out a sign or just did nothing? Would ANY OF THEM give me 1)free medical care.2) free housing and/or rent vouchers.3) Money for my schooling or to start my own business

Hell no they wouldnt,I'd be hauled off to jail for vagrancy.

[LadyCitizen]

Very well put. Plus hate the country and citizens that gave it all to you? Don't make any sense does it. And we know no other country would allow it. Especially Mexico.

[MidNightRider2001]

Finally, something good from Lancaster, CA. I'm glad it's not all Tweakerville.

[FrankCastlez]

divisive..I'll tell you that having to push 1 for english and 2 for spanish is divisive..

having to have all official documents in both english and spanish is costing millions of dollars..make english the official language period

[onecelticwarrior]

Precisely.

When our ancestors came through Ellis Island from distant lands over 100 yrs ago,they learned ENGLISH at night school in many cases.While working during the day & speaking their native language at home.

[valofvalhalla06]

Thank God someone has come to their senses!

[ThisAmerican1]

Divisive is a new hypocritical buzzword for illegal aliens!!! America is a melting pot and always has been. Look at the Olympics!!! America was the ONLY country represented with members from ALL over the world, from every race, creed and ethnicity, yet ALL Americans and ALL speaking English. The lazy, ignorant Hispano-Nazis are the ONLY divisive factor in this debate. You want to come to America? LEARN THE LANGUAGE, as all immigrants do!! Illegal aliens NEVER will. STOP Hispandering.

[giantshadows]

no dickhead, because Iriah greman french viet namese, chinese, whatever.. they all come here to assimilate and be Americans, not illegal mexicans parading as Americans. This has gone too far, come legally or be arrested and deported, you dont get rewarded for sneaking in and we shouldnt have to adapt to you or your language, YOU CAME HERE. over 97% of Americans speak ENGLISH, not russian or spanish or german or french

[lpmark04]

This is disgusting and makes me feel absolutely appalled to live in such a city where this is even an issue. Those in favor of her and her ideals are nothing more than racist and anti-immigrant. Yes, this is America, and that's why we have to be accepting of all people whether or not they are fluent in English. This would not be such a big issue if the language in question was French or German.

[xpgyn]

Well if promoting English as our official language is offensive to you please understand that all that is being done here is an attempt

at keeping our national identity and our common means of communicating. Racist? Anti-immigrant?

That is just plain nonsense!

[bizzymiklo23]

bull fucking shit. who the hell speaks german or french. it would be the same whether it was brought upon the asian language or african language etc. The lady was right in the end. If any american that spoke english went to another country such as mexico. they would rather you speak spanish. Hispanics Don't have that issue of learning another language until they come to america. and now that Immigrants are here and infesting our bordered countries its becoming a mandatory thing to learn spanish.

[KKKn50cal]

I'm in favor of what she is trying to do and it means that we are tired of the illegal immigration. Calif is going broke due to the illegals. The USA gladly accepts legal immigrants who come to America to BECOME AMERICANS.

[PatrioticDream]

BRAVO Sherry!!! Bravo!!

[bizzymiklo23]

thank you

for supporting the american way!

[rbert16000]

Right On Mrs. Marquez

[OddballAZ]

I support her... But let's face it. It's California. It's a lost cause. That's a ship that needs to be abandoned to the 3rd world so it can become the 3rd world shithole it so desperately wants to become.

[azusachiefs]

You go girl! This is America and that's the bottom line.

[burgerbrain420]

She's hot and very smart!

[asuperstar]

I support you.
